Disposable heavyweight paper; holds needle cap in position Promotes OSHA and CDC one-handed recapping technique Reduces accidental needle stick risk during recapping Autoclavable for sterile tray setup; nonsterile as supplied Discourages unsheathed needles on tray; 2.5" x 3.25" Quantity: 100 per Box MicroCare ProTector Needle Sheath Prop, Disposable, One-Handed Recapping is used for safe one-handed needle recapping between local anesthetic injections during dental procedures where a disposable heavyweight paper needle sheath prop placed on the instrument tray holds the dental needle cap upright in a stable ready position that allows the clinician to scoop the cap back onto the used needle with one hand using the OSHA and CDC recommended one-handed recapping technique without requiring the second hand to hold or position the cap, eliminating the two-handed recapping motion that is the primary cause of accidental needle stick injuries during recapping in the dental clinical environment. By holding the needle cap securely upright on the tray surface in a consistent, accessible position throughout the procedure, the ProTector Sheath Prop supports continuous compliance with the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard requirement for one-handed needle recapping technique and discourages the unsafe practice of leaving an unsheathed needle on the instrument tray between injections where the unprotected needle tip represents an accidental stick hazard to the clinician, dental assistant, and anyone else who reaches onto the tray during the procedure.Dentists, oral surgeons, periodontists, and dental assistants who administer local anesthetic injections and require a reliable, economical needle recapping safety device for their injection trays find MicroCare ProTector Needle Sheath Prop the standard disposable one-handed recapping aid for their active injection protocol. ? Each box contains 100 individual disposable ProTector Needle Sheath Props, each 2.5" x 3.25" in size, providing a practical per-operatory supply for active daily injection use across multiple patient appointments. Heavyweight paper construction provides sufficient structural rigidity to hold the dental needle cap upright on the tray surface without collapsing under the slight lateral force of the one-handed scoop motion as the needle tip is guided into the cap opening during recapping, maintaining the cap in its stable upright position through the full recapping sequence. Nonsterile as supplied, the Sheath Prop can be placed on the instrument tray as a single-use disposable at each patient appointment setup, or autoclavable construction allows the prop to be sterilized for a sterile tray setup when infection control protocol requires sterile instrument tray configuration. ? MicroCare ProTector Needle Sheath Prop works by providing a stable base and upright holding mechanism for the dental needle cap that converts the two-handed recapping motion into a safe one-handed scooping action.The heavyweight paper prop is placed on the tray surface and the needle cap is positioned upright within the prop's holding feature, allowing the clinician to guide the needle tip into the open end of the cap from above in a single controlled downward motion without requiring the second hand to stabilize the cap during the entry. Once the needle tip is inserted into the cap opening, the clinician presses down to fully seat the cap on the needle hub, completing the recap without two-handed contact between the needle and cap that OSHA and the CDC identify as the highest-risk moment for accidental needle stick injury during dental anesthetic injection sequences. ? Dentists and oral surgeons performing multiple local anesthetic injections per patient appointment find the ProTector Sheath Prop maintains safe needle recapping discipline across every injection in the appointment sequence without requiring behavioral attention to recapping technique between injections, supporting consistent one-handed recapping compliance throughout the appointment. Dental assistants setting up injection trays find the 100-count box provides a sufficient per-operatory supply for daily single-use disposable recapping prop placement across a full appointment schedule without frequent restocking. ? MicroCare ProTector Needle Sheath Prop, Disposable, One-Handed Recapping gives dental practices a disposable, autoclavable, heavyweight paper needle cap holding device that promotes OSHA and CDC compliant one-handed needle recapping technique, reduces accidental needle stick risk at the recapping step, discourages unsheathed needles on the instrument tray, and supports sterile or non-sterile tray configurations in a 2.5" x 3.25" format, 100 per box.For dental offices ordering needle safety supplies for compliant injection protocols, ProTector Needle Sheath Prop delivers the one-handed recapping support and needle stick prevention that active daily injection safety programs require.
